download project zero maiden of black water review

Brightly lit homely locations, a sense of eerie foreboding, incredibly strong lore-building.

It’s something I desperately wanted to see here, and thankfully Koei Tecmo delivered. Drawing influence from my personal favourite entry in the series, Project Zero 3, these bits play on the classic horror trope of taking a familiar, safe location and making it distinctly unsafe. There are moments in Maiden of Black Water that are up there with the best of the series. The interactive horror genre is perhaps stronger than ever, and a new Project Zero pretty much couldn’t fail, right? Well.ĭon’t get me wrong. As the first English language brand-new entry into the main series since the fantastic Project Zero 3: The Tormented, Maiden of Black Water has a lot to live up to. A mostly-digital-only release (it has a ludicrously expensive physical special edition, but other than that it’s eShop only).

So now we have Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water.

That received a mixed reception, although I recently played it on a New3DS and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Alongside that we had Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, which uses the 3DS as an augmented reality Camera Obscura, allowing you to view ghosts as if they’re in the room with you. This had some bizarre design decisions, involving ‘sexing up’ the two mid-teenage girl protagonists, making for a rather strange experience. Then we had a Wii remake of the second Project Zero game, Crimson Butterfly. We had Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (Wii), which never officially got a release outside of Japan. The last few releases have been a strangely mixed bag. They make a world of difference when replaying these games on a PC at 1080p or higher.After flitting about from console to console for a while, the Project Zero series (Fatal Frame in the US) seems to have found a permanent home with Nintendo. My only suggestion would be to consider asking the authors of the HD Texture Packs for the PS2 releases if you could include those in your archive as well. I will seed the torrent as long as I can since there were none available and I had to download it via this page. I am so thankful for this archive so I can play thru all these excellent horror games again! Your attention to detail with collecting the various releases and mods is wonderful.
